Living without social media

When I first saw this prompt, all that came out of my mouth was, "How? How possible is it to live without social media in this era?"

In today's era, social media has become a big part of our daily lives. It serves as a cornerstone, connecting us to various aspects of life. Many people rely on it not just for leisure but also for essential activities like managing finances. The platform has become a lifeline for those seeking peace of mind, offering enjoyment through music, sports discussions, and more.

People find solace in the simplicity it brings, fostering connections and providing a space for shared interests. Whether it's enjoying the latest music trends or engaging in spirited sports conversations, the digital realm has evolved into a multifaceted tool.

Just like me, I can't even imagine sports, especially football, without social media. How would people rant and banter on a team's flop?

However, if social media is scrapped off this moment, how would I cope?

I'm someone who's deeply engrossed with social media, especially Facebook and Twitter. I do not chat there because messages are numerous. I only use them to check information and updates, especially sports and memes...because I'm not a serious someone

Whenever people boast of how they don't waste their precious time on social media, I hide under the shadow of my keyboard because I'm frequently seen there, scrolling and checking clips of the latest happenings in the sports world, as well as watching a few skits from my favorite skit makers and enjoying memes too.

So, a world without social media will surely deal with my life, especially how I've been addicted to the things I do on the media.
I know I would be able to cope, for sure, but I'll definitely get sick on that process.

• How do I stay without cracking and laughing at those memes and skits?*
• How do I cope without sparking up my day with those banters on sports teams, especially when Chelsea loses a match or Ghana loses to Comoros?

Will it be for the better or worse for me?
On a good scale, it'll be a good lifestyle for me if I happen to stay off social media completely because those times I would use scrolling and burning my data subscription, I would use it to do something meaningful, especially engaging on this blockchain to earn and build my reputation.

We all know how skits and football are addictive. Oftentimes, I would propose to spend just 10 mins on Twitter, and before I know it, 1 hour has passed, and I wouldn't be willing to go away. I know it's beneficial to my mental health as I'll be entertained with loads of laughter, but hey, there's a need to balance up and prioritize a profitable lifestyle first.
I'm not among those making money on social media, so it's just pleasure there and nothing more.

During the time period of Qatar2022 (World Cup), I know how my constant checks on social media affected my routine on this blockchain. I would feel bad and vow not to visit Facebook for the next 12 hrs for me to buy time to concentrate on this blockchain, but I couldn't just stop it.
Living without social media, although it'll be hard, but it will be a big benefit to me.

Thanks for reading.
